Hi, MKM – I love that saying, too, because I was always concerned about what everyone was thinking. It’s ironic, because some of the people who wanted the gory details of my divorce are now actually envious – I never wanted to be the poster child for divorce!
Incidentally, I have read some of your other posts, and I think our sons attend the same school. My son is a new freshman and he is struggling in some of his classes. He is very bright, but LAZY!! After his midterm grades came in, I think he realizes now that he will have to work hard there, not just skate through, take the exam and get an A like in high school. I was worried about the social environment, too, but he seems to be ok with it, even though he is quite introverted. He was lucky to get in a very small dorm, so he has met a lot of people because of its size.
Good luck with your son – he reminds me of me!!
